RESTRICTIONS ON
GERMAN TRADE
MAY BEJ-IFTED
Superior Blockade Council
Sends Word to Washing
ton to Make Ready
to Raise Bar.
Washin&ton, June .iO. The so
period blockade council has been in
truded to be prepared to raise the
conomic blockade of Germany im
mediately upon ratification by the
German national assembly of the
eace treaty.
This announcement was made in
1 dispatch to the state department
irom Paris. The action of the coun
officials here explained, means
that upon ratification of the treaty
3y Germany all restrictions upon
trade with Germany may be re
moved. Without requiring individ
ual ratification by the allied and as
sociated powers, all of the nations
irrayed against Germany in the war

may have an equal start in the race
for German trade.
Raising of the blockade without
awaiting individual ratification was
said by officials to mean more to
the United States than any other
nation because final approval of the
treaty, owing to governmental ma
chinery, probably will require longer
in the United States than in the
other countries.
One result of the decision, if car
ried out, will be to give the senate
unlimited time for consideration of
the yeaty. In some quarters pro
vision in the treaty say that com
mercial relations with Germany
might be resumed when three of
the powers ratified the treaty was
considered as likely to force the
senate to speedy ratification. The
resolution recently introduced by
Senator Fall, republican, of New
Mexico, to declare the war with
Germany at an end was signed to
enable the United States to begin
business relations with the Ger
mans and to relieve the senate of
any pressure that might be brought
to bear by business interests.
Erzberger Plans Holiday
Among Swiss, Paper Says
Berlin, June 30. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Mathias Erzberger,
vice premier and minister of finance,
the Tages Zeitung says, soon will
take a holiday in Switzerland. The
reason for this journey, the paper
advises, probably will be found in
Erzberger's well-known modesty
which is impelling him to escape the
ovations which are being showered
on him at present from all sides."

Ignition
An efficient, reliable, trouble-proof
IGNITION SYSTEM w one of the
greatest motor truck assets.
Much credit for dependable , service of
GMC Trucks is due to their simple, efficient
and reliable Ignition System ,
There are only five wires one from the magneto to
the switch on the dashboard-one wire to each
spark plug.
The system is so simple there is little chance of
ignition trouble. Should trouble come it can easily
be located and quickly remedied.
As the source of the Ignition current we use a high
tension water-proof magneto. It comprises the
fewest working parts has no outside terminals,
nuts or connections to catch dirt or cause short
circuits. Dirt, grease or water cannot get into
the magneto cannot cause starting or running
trouble.
We have used this magneto on GMC Trucks for a
long period and have had no serious Ignition
trouble of any sort.
The magneto is conveniently located, readily ac
cessible, and all working parts are easily gotten to
in case adjustment is required.

HOLLWEG TAKES
BLAME FOR WAR
AND ASKS TRIAL
Former German Chancellor
Assumes All Responsibility
for ''Acts of Huns Dur
ing Term of Office.
Berlin, June 30. (By the Associ
ated Press.) Dr. Theobald Von
Bethmann-Hollweg, former German
chancellor, has formally asked the
allied and associated powers to place
him on trial instead of the former
emperor. The former chancellor
says that he assumes responsibility
for the acts of Germany during his
period of office and places himself
at the disposal of the allies.
The request of the former chan
cellor was made June 25 in a com
munication to Premier Clemenceau,
president cf the conference. Dr. von
Bethmann-Hollweg, it is said, de
sired to take this step May 20, but
refrained at that time on the ex
pressed wish of the German gov
ernment. The communication asks
Premier Clemenceau to bring the
following document to the knowl
edge of the allied and associated
powers;
"In article 227 of the peace terms,
the allied and associated powers ar
raign His Majesty William II of
Hohenzollern, former German em
peror, for a supreme offense against
international morality and the
sanctity of treaties. At the same
time they announce their resolve to
address a request to the government
of the Netherlands for the surrender
of the former emperor for purpose
of -trial.
Offers Up Himself.
"With reference thereto I take
the liberty of addressing a request
to the powers to let the projected
proceedings against his majesty the
emperor be taken against me. For
this object I hereby place myself
at the disposal of the allied and
associated powers.
"As formes German imperial chan
cellor, I bear for my period of office
sole responsibility, as regulated in
the German constitution, for the po
litical acts of the emperor. I believe
I deduce therefrom the claim that
the reckoning which the allied and
associated powers desire to demand
for these acts shall be demanded
solely on being convinced that the
allied and associated powers will not
deny international respect to the
legal position fixed by public con
stitutional law. I may express the
hope that they would be inclined to
yield to my urgent request.
(Signed) (
"Von Bethmann-Hollweg."
Eight Years Chancellor.
Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg was
German chancellor from 1909 to July
14, 1917. He succeeded Prince Von
Buelow. '
The definition of the treaty guar
anteeing the neutrality of Belgium
as a "scrap of paper" was made by
Von Bethmann-Hollweg in an ad
dress in the reichstag shortly after
the beginning of the war. The for
mer chancellor has blamed the mil
itarists for starting the war, while
he in turn, has been blamed.
Last February he offered to go
before a tribunal to give an account
ing for his stewardship as chancel
lor. It was announced in Berlin,
March 27, Von Bethmann-Hollweg
would be among those who would
be tried by the German court which
would investigate responsibility for
the loss of the war by Germany.
He has been mentioned several
times as among those who might be
tried by the allies for political of-

WILSON SPENDS
BUSY DAY ON SHIP
ON HIS WAY HOME
Answers Greetings of British,
Spanish and Japanese Rul
ers; Many War Brides
Aboard Vessel.
On Board the United States Ship
George Washington, June 30. (By
Wireless to the Associated Press.)
Several thousand returning Amer
ican soldiers and a score of pretty
French war brides are on board the
presidentaial ship on its voyage to
the United States. A number of
the soldiers who were members of
the guards at the Paris white house
and the Hotel de Crillon headquar
ters of the American delegation,
were married during their sojourn
in Paris.
The regulations provided no
means for the brides to accompany
their husbands on the George
Washington and for a while it
seemed they might be left behind.
A tearful joint dispatch from the
newly-weds to President Wilson led
to making arrangements for their
accommodation and they are one of
the happiest novelties of the voyage,
which so far has been in perfect
weather and on a calm sea.
Farewell messages were received
by President Wilson from King
George of England, King Alphonso
of Spain and the emperor of Japan.
The one from King George makes
allusion to "the American and Brit
ish people, -brothers in arms, who
will continue ever in peace.
Answers King George.
The reply of the president to the
nieSsage of King George was as fol
lows: "It gives me deep pleasure to ex
press to you my conviction of the
truth of your generous message con
cerning the great ends which have
been attained by the present peace
and the new ties which have been
created btween your own great peo
ple and ours, we are on the eve
of realizing, more than we could
realize them at the time, the real
Objects of the great war.
The free people of the world
united to defend the enemies of lib
erty and justice, have through their
representatives wrought out a plan
by which they may remain united
in a free partnership of intimate
council to promote the cases of
justice and of freedom through the
beneficient processes of peace and
the accords of a liberal policy. It is
within the choice of thoughtful men
of every nation to enrich the peace
by their counsel. 1 am happy to
echo your greetings at this mo
mentous time of renewed vision and
confident hope."
Reply to Japan's Greeting.
The president replied to Emperor
Yoshihito of Japan, as follows:
Your majesty s message of feli
citations is received with the great
est gratification. It has been a priv
ilege to co-operate with the very
able representatives of Japan in de
veloping the terms of peace which
inevitably involved the interests of
the whole world. I believe with
your majesty that the results
achieved forecast a new era in the
world's history because they give
promise of a peace in which justice
will not be imperilled by selfish
initiative on the part of any single
nation.
"May I' express my best wishes
for the security and happiness of
your people?"
King Alphonso of Spain sent this
message:
"On the occasion of the signing
of the peace in which you have in
conjunction with your country taken
such a preponderating part, I am
pleased to send you my most sin
cere congratulations and I ask you
to accept my very best wishes and
those of Spain for the happiness
and prosperity of the United States
of America in the new era now be
ginning. I wish you, Mrs. Wilson
and Miss Wilson, a good journey."
In reply the president said:
"I greatly appreciate your mes
sage; I rejoice with you-over the
signing of the peace and look for
ward with equal confidence to a new
day in which it will be possible to
give peace a new significance for
the nations through common council
of amity and co-operation- and I am
sure that I am expressing the feel
ings of the people of the vUnited
States in wishing for the fruits of
the better day."

PHYSICIAN FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
HANGS HIMSELF
Minneola, June 30. Dr. Walter
Keane Wilkins, who was convicted
of the murder of his wife, Julia, by
a jury here Friday, committed sui
cide in the bath room of the Nashua
county jail by hanging with a rope.
Although the aged physician's
pulse was still beating when he was
cut down, and every effort was made
by the jail physicians to save his
life, he died a few minutes after' 8
o'clock. Dr. Wilkins' neck wa's
broken, it was announced.
Jail officials were unable to ex
plain how the doctor obtained the
rope withwhich he ended his life.
The rope Dr. Wilkins used was
brand new. He had been thorough
ly searched Saturday, jail officials
said.
Dr. Wilkins left behind him a
long letter protesting his inno
cence and declaring his belief that
he had not received a fair trial.
The doctor had spent the entire
afternoon writing his letter of self-
vindication and two other letters
giving directions for the disposal of
his body and the care of several
pets to which he was greatly at
tached.
"Rather than be driven across tfie
state of New York by Carmeit
Plant (Nashau county detective)
and delivered up to Sing Sing
prison," he wrote in one letter, "I
prefer to be my own executioner.
Besides it will save Justice Manning
from looking into my face when he
tells me I have had a fair trial.
"I am absolutely innocent of this
crime which the indictment charges
me with."
German Correspondents
. Sent Out Uniform Report
Berlin, June 30. (By the Asso

the nature of the mission assigned
him. The minister told the corre
spondent he was fulfilling his task
with a heavy heart.
The German newspaper corre
spondents, who were admitted to the
ceremony, voted to send a uniform
report to the German press and to
record the happenings in plain lan
guage on the ground that "because
this is a day of mourning in Ger
man history, journalistic pyrotreh
nics, are not suitable."
